    Poll: Sega; did you own one?

    I had a Sega Genesis and a Game Gear and loved them both. Not just for Sonic, but for the NFL Madden football games(talking 93-94 when it was new and fun.) There was a few other games I absolutely loved, both platformers, but I can't remember the names of either one of them. Help me out if...

    Worst Deaths in gaming

    This was gonna be my answer. And didn't Dark Star die after taking a fist to the crotch? I may be mistaken there but that's what it looked like to me. As far as tragic deaths go, I'd have to say the deaths of every single person in your party in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. It...

    Worst Protagonists.

    I'm a huge fan of the Fire Emblem series, as anyone who knows me knows, but one thing it never really did well for me was have a good main character. It was odd for a series that boasted about 40+ characters each and gave them all fairly good to very good characterization despite not telling...

    Do you play an instrument?

    I played the trumpet in middle/high school band, I play electric guitar now and I tried to learn drums(to impress a girl) but I never really got into it. And I'm now hoping to learn to play the piano. Also I have the most AWESOME guitar EVER. It's the epitome of guitaritude.

    You have 48 Hours to Live.

    WHAT?! 48 HOURS?! Dear God, why would you do this to me?! WHY?! WHY?! WHY?! *Sobs uncontrollably and collapses in a puddle of tears, writhing pitifully and pathetically.* Yeah, I'd pretty much just do that the whole time. Maybe in a really crowded place like the mall. Oh, and I'd have...

    Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    Dear God, I'm going to have nightmares tonight. I swear I'm going to make you pay for my therapy.

    Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    I liked the review, especially the falling words thing at the end. Split my sides. Even though I did enjoy Brawl. On the other hand, it really felt like Yahtzee was just reaching for criticism anyway. Complaining about the camera angles was really reaching there, especially when there at a...

    Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    Your earlier post just cried out "That would totally annoy me" and as a rule of thumb I have to do things like that. Reverse psychology and all that. It's like if you put a button on a huge console and label it "DON'T PUSH THIS BUTTON." How many people would press it just to spite the label?

    Zero Punctuation: Super Smash Bros. Brawl

    *Steals the 1000th post.* Internet superstardom, here I come. Or is it the banhammer? :| (Yes, 144, I did it specifically to annoy you.) Anyway, I said in an earlier thread I'd likely be disappointed by Brawl and that's exactly what happened. Sad, really.

    Games you keep as your "dark little secret"

    The Grand Theft Auto series. I've preached how childish and juvenile all those games are to all my friends enough times to be ashamed of this fact: yes, I will be getting GTA IV and playing it until the disc melts.

    When was the last time you cried and/or teared up during a video game?

    I got a little sad when Pelleas died in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. Pelleas is unquestionably the most tragic character I've ever encountered in a video game, and what was supposed to be a noble sacrifice was for absolutely nothing. And yeah, I know he was a weak ruler and all that, but still...

    Weakest protagonist EVAR!

    Oh. I stand corrected, then. Open mouth, insert foot.

    Anyone else resent having storylines in games?

    No. EDIT: I considered leaving my post that short just to drive home the point that hard, but I now feel the need to clarify: no to every single word of that.

    Weakest protagonist EVAR!

    Why has no one mentioned Sonic the Hedgehog? He can be blown away by a small breeze if he's not holding a ring.

    Apparently Awsome Games

    Agreed 100%, though admittedly I was never big on the Final Fantasy series so I can't say I loved it so much as I enjoyed it. FFX holds a special place in my heart, though, for being the game that bonded me with my first (now ex-)girlfriend. Back to the topic. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption...
